Mango opens new store at Lakeside Shopping Centre

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Mango has announced it has opened a new store inside Lakeside Shopping Centre. 

The new 440 sq metre store embodies Mango’s innovative ‘New Med’ concept, drawing inspiration from Mediterranean design elements that aim to create a “modern and inviting shopping experience”.

Sustainability and architectural integration are key to the new design concept, which creates a Mediterranean look and feel achieved through a combination of colour and texture. Different spaces see warm tones and neutral colours merged with traditional, handcrafted, sustainable and natural materials such as ceramics, tuff, wood, marble, esparto grass and leather.

This new store is part of Mango’s expansion and brand consolidation plan in the UK with more than 20 store openings planned for 2024.

Howard Oldstein, centre director at Lakeside Shopping Centre, said: “Mango will be a welcomed addition to Lakeside’s already top-tier and diverse retail offering. As a leading shopping destination, we know Mango’s store will really resonate with our customers and look forward to seeing them embrace this new addition.”
